- When will you graduate? I will be graduating in May of 2017.
- What are your career plans? I plan to become a Pediatric Neuropsychologist. I was drawn to neuropsychology because this career path combined many different things that I am passionate about such as interacting with children and their families, learning more about what impacts the development of children as well as being able to improve a child’s (and the child’s family) quality of life through diagnosis and presenting various solutions and treatment approaches.
- Why did you major in psychology? I majored in Psychology because I am fascinated by how the brain develops and functions throughout a person’s lifetime. I enjoy learning more about specific situations that occur in the brain that seriously affect one’s growth and development. On a more personal level, I have experienced first-hand how remarkable our brains really are as my younger brother was diagnosed 22q13 Phelan-McDermid Syndrome when he was a toddler.
- What do you do for fun? In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, working out, cooking, and knitting.
- What’s your favorite movie, book, and TV show related to psychology? My favorite movie that is related to psychology would be The Sixth Sense.
- What single thing do you hope to accomplish at UWGB before graduating? I hope to complete an honors research project before I graduate.
